where's harvey weinstein? harvey. >> this morning's "eye-opener" is brought to you by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." gayle king is off. good morning norah. >> good morning to you, charlie. the president has a big test today. >> and we begin there. the united states and russia are nose-to-nose in their biggest confrontation since the days of the soviet union. russian forces are tightening their grip on crimea, a vital region of ukraine. the obama administration is threatening russian president vladimir putin with economic sanctions. >> and ukraine's new prime minister said this morning that his country will not give up crimea to anyone. he's accusing russia of declaring war, and ukraine's military is getting ready to fight. elizabeth palmer is at a ukrainian air force base in

sevastopol crimea. >> reporter: he has spoken up in geneva, and he has made it clear that russian troop also stay in southern ukraine, until, as he put it, the situation normalizes. in crimea, the russians are in control after a bloodless takeover that's lasted less than a week. there are still pocketing of resistance. ukrainian forces barricade inside their own bases. but they're surrounded by the russian military and hopelessly outnumbered. some have switched sides, including the head of the ukrainian navy. ukrainian troops who had hoisted the russian flag at their barricade, and they were backed by local militia who stole our body armor and told us to turn back. so we headed to the nearest railway station and took the train. we've just crossed the border into crimea and the train didn't even slow down. there were certainly no official checkpoints or controls which goes to show you that until a couple of days ago, anyway,

crimea was a completely integral part of ukraine. all that has now changed. this is occupied territory, and it's gotten western ukrainians on the streets protesting. in odessa, thousands marched against the russian invasion and in the capital, the president called the invasion a declaration of war. >> russia is to realize that they will pay the price, and not only russia but those who are today in crimea, and they present an illegal and traitorous act an illegal power in crimea. >> reporter: charlie and norah, i'm standing in one of the pockets of resistance i mentioned. i'm on an ukrainian air base. you may see a couple of soldiers. they're standing their ground. the russians have been at the

gate, and they said, we want you off that base today. nobody knows exactly what the implied "or else" is. nobody knows what will happen next. it's very tense indeed. >> thanks elizabeth. on wall street, the crisis is sending stocks down sharply at this hour. secretary of state john kerry will travel to ukraine tonight. sunday, he told bob schieffer that russia has committed, in his words, an incredible act of aggression. >> you just don't, in the 21st century, behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped-up pretext. i think russia needs to think very carefully about the choice that it's making, and there are visa bans there are asset freezes, there's isolation with respect to trade and investment. american businesses may well want to start thinking twice about whether they want to do business with a country that behaves like this. these are serious implications. >> and president obama spoke with other world leaders

yesterday. major garrett is at the white house where officials say they're prepared to shut out russia. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie. the economic moves that secretary of state kerry just outlined are very real and the white house is hoping that vladimir putin, the russian president, will back down at least slightly and take the offer now on the table of international observers and international monitors in crimea, instead of risking long-term economic isolation. the fact is that everything the united states has done so far to punish russia, cancelling high-level talks on trade and energy expansion cancelling preparations for a g8 summit in sochi, russia are temporary and could be reveersed. if the united states and its western allies hit russia with economic sanctions or deny moscow access to global financial networks and key international bank accounts the damage to the russian economy could be longlasting and it could put u.s.-russian relations in the deepest, most confrontational stance they've been in the entire obama

presidency. some believe putin has overplayed his hand and will not fire shots in crimea and will not move his forces into less friendly parts of ukraine. with canada great britain, france, and germany all against russia moscow's own status in the g8 is also in jeopardy. these nations are also preparing, along with the united states, an economic package to rescue the transitional and fragile government in ukraine itself. the united states doesn't need or want to punish russia necessarily for this violation of the international law. it wants moscow to back off and ease the tensions. right now, as elizabeth palmer just said, russian forces are there in crimea they are a reality. and until they move out this will be a confrontation between those russian forces on the ground and the implied threat of economic sanctions from the west. norah and charlie? >> major, thank you. senior security contributor mike morell is with us, former deputy director at the cia. good morning. >> good morning. >> we want to talk about putin

and what he's up to. what are the larger risks at stake in this crisis? >> so i think the real risk here is that this war could spread. eastern ukraine is largely russian speaking and that could give putin a reason to move into eastern ukraine and have a larger war between ukraine and russia. >> why is putin doing this? what's he up to? >> two reasons. one, it's been a long time russian foreign policy in general and putin's desire in particular to establish control -- complete control over all of those states that used to be part of the former soviet union. and it is also his strong desire to undermine the united states at any chance he can. so moving in crimea sends a very powerful message not only to ukraine, but to all of those countries of the former soviet union, don't mess with me. and to do it a day after the president tells him not to gives the united states a black-eye. >> we've been talking about how fascinating this is and i know

you agree with what he's doing. let's talk about u.s. options, what options we have. you heard the secretary of state say repeatedly yesterday, we're going to make it hurt. but really economic sanctions? are we prepared to go all the way? >> so the things we've done already are pretty weak and putin will see them as weak. military action is not an option for obvious reasons. the only real option is economic sanctions. that could bite the russians. but do we really want to get into an economic war with russia, with a country that produces the second-most oil in the world and a country that produces the second-largest amount of natural gas in the world? he can cause real problems. >> the other question is what's at stake for president obama? "the new york times" today, the russian occupation of crimea has challenged obama as no other international crisis. at its heart, the advice seemed to pose the same question -- is mr. obama tough enough to take on the former kgb colonel in the kremlin?

>> the only thing vladimir putin understands is tough. and there has to be a tough response for putin to pay attention. >> but the president's credibility is at stake. >> i think so. >> all right. mike morell, thank you. a new storm is moving into the pacific northwest this morning. forecasters say it's the first in a series this week. meanwhile, parts of the east coast will see up to a foot of snow today. this is philadelphia which is under a snow emergency. schools and federal offices are closed in the district of columbia. jeff pegues is on the snowy national mall. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie. it may be in the 50s out west but here in the nation's capital, as you can see, we're in the middle of this intensifying snowstorm. right now, probably 2 to 3 inches of snow on the ground but it's going to get worse. this is the same storm that coated parts of the south with ice and snow. rain turned to snow early this morning in the nation's capital, coating roadways with several inches of snow.

it's just the latest storm in an unrelenting winter. plummeting temperatures and sleet swept through parts of arkansas on sunday while in nearby oklahoma city crews worked to treat ice-covered roadways that led to accidents throughout the weekend. in philadelphia mayor michael nutter declared a snow emergency ahead of the storms. >> our teams are out there. they will fight this storm as they have fought all the other storms, but we do need your patience. >> reporter:

>> with the storm set to drop nearly a foot of snow in some parts of the mid-atlantic, less than 20 days from spring, winter fatigue has set in. >> it's going to be another rough one. i'm looking for that punxsutawney phil. >> reporter: whiteout conditions here in the nation's capital, and as the temperatures drop they're expecting a lot more snow. they're anticipating up to a foot of snow in some spots, and there is growing concern about power outages in this area. norah, charlie? >> jeff, thanks. in texas this morning, 65-mile stretch of interstate 45 is closed because of ice. some drivers say they've been stuck for 10 hours. stormy weather's causing trouble for airlines across the united states. so far today, more than 2,000 flights are cancelled. some of hollywood's newest faces are celebrating oscar wins this morning in the 86th annual academy awards making hifltry history of its own. nancy o'dell is at the "e.t." studio in los angeles.

nancy, good morning. what a night. >> reporter: good morning, norah. yes, i came directly from the governor's ball. listen, a great night. there were not a lot of big surprises amongst the winners at last night's oscars. "12 years a slave" won three of the biggest awards including best picture. "gravity" won the most oscars overall, but the show did break one unexpected record after host ellen degeneres wandered down into the audience with her smartphone. >> meryl, can you take it? >> oscar host ellen degeneres post a picture of herself in a star-studded selfie on twitter, and within an hour, it was the most retweeted selfie more than 1 million before the oscars were over. >> we just crashed twitter. we got an e-mail from twitter and we crashed and broke. >> i got this from mrs. shaw. >> the night's big winner was "12 years a slave" winning best picture, best adapted screenplay

and best supporting actress. >> laputo thanked director steve mcqueen. >> the first black person to win a best picture oscar. and amongst "gravity's" seven oscars were two for cuaron who won for best director. >> i'm mexican. i hope that like anything some mexicans were rooting for me. >> did you believe i had to move out of my beautiful home? >> cate blanchett was a front-runner ever since "blue jasmine" was released last summer. >> woody allen has been writing for years for women, and, you know incredibly complex, hilarious, extraordinary roles for women, and i was lucky get one.

>> reporter: best actor, matthew mcconaughey, and supporting actor, jared leto were honored for their roles in "dallas buyers club." in his acceptance speech he offer add message of hope. >> to those that felt injustice because of who you are or who you love tonight i stand here in front of the world with you and for you. >> reporter: and after 20 years in the business matthew mcconaughey won with his first oscar nomination. >> i got a prize for excellence for the work i do and something that's not my job, and it's not my hobby, and it's not my fab, it's my career. that feels wonderful. >> oh, and he was feeling wonderful when i saw him at the governor's ballast night, just completely thrilled. there were a number of major fill s that walked away empty handed last night, though. "american hustle" "the wolf of wall street," "captain phillips"

will shut out. but there were more special moments and i'll be back in the next hour. >> and how about the acceptance speeches lupita stole the show in many ways. >> she really did. i said everybody's acceptance speech, they had meaning behind them and heartfelt, when they were talking about their family and really thinking about the world in general, when they were talking about people achieving their goals, and lupita was one of them, for sure. >> thanks nancy. >> thank you. time to show you the morning's headlines from around the globe. hamid karzai gives an emotional interview to the "washington post." he explains why he is a harsh critic of the united states. karzai says the 12-year war leaves him angry. he believes the conflict has been waged with western interests in mind. not afghanistan's. and he downplays the role of al qaeda.

passengers that could make using your frequent flyer miles nearly impossible. that's right. travel editor peter greenberg is here in studio 57 and he's going to take a look at first class and coach. that's ahead. the trial of oscar pre torous, the so-called blade runner got under way this morning. he's charged with the murder in the shooting of his of new evidence, and that certainly proved true today. pistorius trial amid a media frenzy.

wear dark suit he stood behind his defense team and stared ahead impassively as charges of killing his girlfriend reeva steenkamp were red off. then the judge asked him how he pleads. >> not guilty my lady. >> there was a statement read that he and reva were in a loving relationship at the time of the shooting and he had no intention of killing her. certainly coverage of this film captured on supermarket security cameras show a young couple deeply in love. but ten days later she's dead and pistorius was charged with her murder. he shot her by accident mistaking her for an intruder. they will paint a very different picture that he was, in fact, a violent gun-obsessed young map who killed his girlfriend in a murderous bit of rage. witness for

thank you. this morning we're taking a closer look at delta air lines frequent mile program. they'll base it on ticket prices, not how far or how often. >> travel editor peter greenberg is here with that and more. tell us what's going happen. >> right now if you fly any airline, you earn your miles based on the flight. starting in january, that's going to change. jetblue and they have done it. how much can you get for each available seat. we're a nation of adigited frequent flyers we're going to do anything for frequent miles. >> redeeming them will be almost impossible. >> here's the thing. right now there are more unredeemed miles out there in circulation than there is

currency circulating in the world. 17 17.5 trillion miles. >> that number is surprising though it's not surprising. doesn't this create a bigger divide between those high-paying business customer and those in first class and how do you think the consumers are going to react? >> you'd earn over 4,200 miles on delta. starting in january it goes down to 2,500 miles. so the incentive is to spend more money to earn more miles that you have difficulty redeeming. it's an amazing game. >> and the reason they're doing this obviously is revenue but also they're paying attention to the people paying the bills. >> that right. if you want a coach ticket from new york to hong kong i even seen it as low as $1,000. a first class ticket is $1,900.

if you can fill the first half of the plane with paying kmirs, they can make money. but if they don't, they have so many sitting in coach, even on the wings, they lose money. >> how many of these airlines are going to cater to the high end? >> if you play you pay. they limb yeo you out to the plane. they have a first class terminal and they drive you to the plane in a porch. >> i've heard this is great. >> you've heard this. right. we'll talk about that later. >> but the bottom line is they're going for the 1% and they're going that because the revenue they're going to get is huge. the upsell here is tremendous. >> you don't think there's going to be a backlash? >> not only will there be a backlash, but others will do it.

there's no financial incentive for the airlines to replace a passenger and redeem a ticket. guess what? you're going to pay more for fewer miles that you're going to have the same difficulty in redeeming. what deal. >> thanks for the great news. great having you. take care. >> you got it. barry petersen is going to show us why there's also a change in the air in a small colorado town. >> reporter: municipalities can say no to sales. this facility is in tiny garden city, the only place in one of the largest countyies in colorado where you can buy mann. and garden city is

across america, people like basketball hall of famer dominique wilkins, are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. and the needle is thin. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients.

symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side efcts may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back th or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

it is 8:00 am in the west. welcome back to "cbs this morning." russia tightens its grip on the ukraine. taking stot sky. elizabeth palmer is in crimea. new generation of oscar gold in hollywood this morning. e.t.'s nancy o'dell talks with the actors of "dallas buyers club" and more. and a billion dollar business taking advantage of the winter storms. here is today's eye opener at 8:00. >> the russians have been at the gate and said we want you off that base today. >> the united states and russia

are nose to nose in their biggest confrontation since the days of the soviet union. >> the only thing that vladimir putin understands is tough. there has to be a tough response. >> it's going to get worse. this is the same storm that coated parts of the south with ice and snow. >> there were not a lot of big surprises amongst the winners at last night's oscars but the show did break one unexpected record after host ellen degeneres wandered down into the audience with her smart phone. >> we crashed and broke twitter. we have made history. we can expect a few surprises and a lot of new evidence. we're a nation of addicted frequent flyers. >> any words of wisdom for those who are afraid of legalized marijuana? >> i think it's wise to try new things. i got a prize for excellence for the work i do. that feels wonderful.

base today. there is an implied or else. nobody knows exactly what it is. now, this has been reported elsewhere, across crimea this morning. the russians for the moment are politely saying we want you, the ukrainians off their bases. but there may be some violence later today. although, overall, the atmosphere is fairly relaxed. probably because the russians are in such complete control. meanwhile, in kiev the government is appealing for help from the west from the united states. sergey lavrov the russian foreign minister made it clear, though -- he just spoke in geneva -- to say russian troops are going to stay in crimea until, as he put it the situation is normalized. for "cbs this morning," elizabeth palmer crimea. white house and state department officials spoke with american allies throughout the weekend. the obama administration hopes economic threats will convince russia to withdraw its forces. margaret brennan is in washington where secretary of

state john kerry is prepared to go to ukraine tonight. margaret, good morning. >> good morning to you charlie and to norah. secretary of state kerry secretary kerry when he gets to kiev will offer economic support to ukraine. he will also urge russian officials not to engage. he think that is vladimir putin badly miscalculated and want to offer him an off-ramp a diplomatic way to avoid armed conflict. one option is that the u.n. or another peacekeeping force could replace russian troops in crimea to protect the russian-speaking population there. this is really a high-wire act for the obama administration. officials admit that this standoff is impacting u.s./russian relations and they're trying to minimize the damage. remember that the u.s. wants russia to remain part of the international alliance against iran and to push the syrian regime to give up their chemical

weapons. kerry will try to balance all of this when he meets face to face with his russian counterpart thursday. but in the meantime, the west is threatening to hit putin in the pocketbook with those canceled trade deals and sanctions. they're also offering him a way out, a chance to help rebuild a cash-strapped ukraine. >> margaret brennan, thank you. and a much happier mood this morning in hollywood with plenty of fresh faces winning oscars.

first three words that he he ever said on film. on his very first day in the business. and it's a reminder to him of that job, which was the start of a career that he obviously loves. hollywood has actually coined a new term now for his career reinvention, the mcconnaissance, as in renaissance. good to see for him. >> good to see you. >> thank you for approving my dress, charlie. >> i like it very much. >> thank you very much. and cold right now. i had to come straight from the governor's ball in my evening gown earlier. now i had to warm up a little bit. i'm going to check with you next time charlie. >> thanks nancy. >> nancy will have much more tonight from the oscar winners on "entertainment tonight" after your local list-- check your local

it's already been some power outages in parts of virgina. so far for the winter season here in d.c. there's been nearly 20" of snow and counting. that's above average. but far, far below the record. the record you might remember was set in 2009 2010. that winter when they got about 55" of snow here. so this storm is intensifying today. temperatures will drop. they're expecting about a foot of snow in some spots. norah, charlie? >> all right. jeff looks beautiful there in the snow. thank you so much. >> hundreds of drivers are stranded this morning because of ice on interstate 45 south of dallas. a snow storm in the east has forced more than 2,000 flight cancellations. washington philadelphia, new york are the most impacted. meanwhile, meteorologist megan glaros of wbbm says the west is getting more rain. good morning charlie and norah. good morning to our viewers in the west, who are dealing with the possibility of very heavy rain and mountain snow from san

commentary from people like me it was like deja vu. was there any real surprise? i don't know about you. i would be prepared to give up some of my civil liberties to make sure nobody talks about oscar this much. >> it would have been a nice surprise if philomena had won. >> really? >> i loved it. absolutely loved it. >> "her" was my favorite film of the year and i'm delighted spike jonze gone an award. >> lupita nongo, in "12 year as slave," she's like one of 15 actors who won their first time around. she was in many ways the star of the oscars because she's a breakout star, right? >> she was. first of all, when she walks on the red carpet she certainly makes a statement. but she's also made a statement because she's really serving as a role model for young women. one of the things i talked about with her last night is she told

me about this letter she got from a young girl who said she had wanted to change the color of her skin until she saw lupita come onto the scene and that made her accept her for who she was. and lupita talked about how that's what she feels like all this is happening to her for because she had felt the same way a as a young kid and that's why her speech about everybody accepting who they are hit home for her and was such a poignant ceremony. >> they use their speeches not to sort of thank a bunch of individuals. they used their speech to make a larger point and lupita says it doesn't escape me for so one moment that so much joy in my life is because of so much pain in others' lives. it's almost difficult to watch because it's a painful, very violent movie. >> last night it seemed as if she was channeling the spirits of those people. it was almost as if she sort of invoked them and brought them onto the stage and then she said

to the young women out there, and to all of us, your dreams are valid. that was the line of the night. >> you were going say, nancy? >> i was going to say i think that that is what is so great about that movie is the fact that it was so difficult to watch and that's what made it so real. i was actually told last night on the red carpet they're actually going to use that in classrooms now for students to see and steve mcqueen is so very proud of that fact and the way you were feeling. it was probably one of the toughest movies that i have ever had to watch, but it was one of the best movies that i've ever watched. >> she was in drama school a year or so oeg aegago? >> yeah. >> matthew mcconaughey much has been made about how much he transitioned his career by taking small roles. does that mean every actor will be looking for a small part in which there will be some loss of weight? >> there's always been that, but, look. transformation has always won oscars.

the thing about mcconaughey, his "true detective" hit, his absolute performance on hbo hit at the same time the votes were going in, so i think that's what really won him over. he's spooky great. i mean he's even spookier than he was in his acceptance speech last night when he thanked his future self for being a hero. you know i mean this guy is -- it helps when you're authentic authentically weird and i think mcconaughey is authentically weird. >> weird in a good way, right? in a southern charming way. >> absolutely. >> southern charming way. >> there's also ellen's performance? is there an overaulg assessment of how well she did or how they liked about what she did as the host? >> my guess is -- i think her proportion of good jokes to bad was about one to four meaning way down but her vibe was so sweet, it with us so good it was so i'll do anything i love you all, that i think we walked

away from it thinking oh i like her very much however bad her material was. >> i think what she did -- i'm sorry. wi us going to say i twharng she did right she did things that were so simple yet so much fun like the retweet because it continued after. what i was going to say at the governor's ball after the oscars, they all wanted to know if they made that picture. even lupita was laughing shchl e said my brother jumped? the photo. i heard you guys talking about whether it was planned or not. jared leto thought that many of the actors knew it was going to happen in the ceremony, but he didn't. he
